There is safety margin from the sidewall pressure, but it varies with manufacturer, manufacturing process and tire to tire. I don't know where you get your confidence in that much pressure over the limit, but I do not share it; I think you are being reckless. Where did you get the burst data? Certainly NOT from the manufacturer, which would be the one source you might be able to trust.
